Live a Longer and Healthier Life

You should balance your activities with the proper amount
of rest. Some of the leading experts in the field of aging
now believe that regular exercise along with the proper amount
of rest may actually add years to the life span. Results from
a number of tests indicate that speed and muscular strength
of many of the elderly can be extended.

Leading authorities agree that this new data is going to
shatter many of the myths about aging and physical performance.
The conclusion now is that the performance and ability of
the elderly has long been underestimated, diet, proper sleep
and exercise along with rest and relaxation are all important
factors in preserving our bodies.

Laughter is one of the best things for your mental and physical
state. People are naturally attracted to someone who has a
good sense of humor. You can develop a good outlook and a
good sense of humor by associating with and surrounding yourself
with pleasant happy people.

There are different types of stress such as mental, emotional
and physical. Emotional stress seems to take the greatest
toll on everyone. All stress is not bad; in fact, life would
not be very interesting if it were not met with challenges.
However, too much stress, too often with no effective and
appropriate outlet, does not allow the body and soul to recuperate.
You might review a typical week to see if you can identify
things that might be making you anxious or causing you stress.
Once identified, stressors can be attacked and eliminated.

Are you a worrier? Chronic worriers don't have more serious
problems than others - they just think they do. Many worriers
try to cope by trying not to think about their problems, but
this just makes things worse. Doctors say that chronic worriers
feel less anxious if they actually spend a half-hour a day
thinking specifically about their problems.

Get plenty of exercise. People who are physically fit look
good and feel good. A good exercise regimen will lengthen
your life. Improve your appearance, build self confidence
and help delay the aging process.

Remember that you need to do something physical every day.
If you don't use your joints, quite simply they'll tighten
up with age to create the stooped, bent and worn out appearance
we so often associate with old age. Studies have shown that
people with arthritis experience less pain if they continue
to keep their joints flexible. As one gets older, the bones
tend to get brittle which is why it is common for senior citizens
to break bones and especially their hips when they fall.

Eating right, getting proper sleep and learning to relax
are all very valuable in maintaining a healthy body and mind.
And keep in mind that eating healthy foods and avoiding those
high in fats, sodium and cholesterol will help to decrease
your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and associated
problems.
